It’s over. It was pretty painless. Only a little glitch with Virtual PC, but everything runs crisper. faster. Spotlight is a little mind blowing because it changes the paradigm. I can feel the amazon book purchasing bug starting. I have no idea how to use Automator, but I want to. What is this automatic watermarking feature of Preview that I never heard about?

Safari is pretty fast and the RSS newsreader feature is great. I have been using Firefox for some time now because of performance - it’s just faster - but it looks like Safari has caught up. It always feels better to use Apple’s native stuff, anyway.

Microsoft Word and Entourage, the functional CPU sinks that they are (nice software, but bloated, you know..) seem to run faster. Mail doesn’t connect to Exchange via MAPI or tunnel through OWA. I thought that would be too much to ask anyway. But since spotlight searches Mail messages and not Entourage, it’s back to the toss up of which mail client to use. Option is to archive Entourage messages in Mail for searching with spotlight. That shouldn’t hurt anything.

My new favorite feature is to hover the mouse over any word in a Cocoa application and hold down Ctrl+Cmd+d. It will bring up a little popup of the definition of the word from the Oxford English Dictionary. It’s the little things that are the best.
